Long time no blog!

¡Buenos Días!

It's that time again! Report Cards! I just wanted to let you all know that developing and partially meets is completely normal! We have only just begun our Spanish and for all of our students to know everything already would be impossible! So all the report cards are based on the k-2 Maine Learning Results and our students here at Edgecomb Eddy are progressing faster than I could have predicted! 

¡Estoy emocionada! ( I am excited! )

This week our 4-6 graders learned a little about sentence structure and where objects are in relation to another in our bathrooms! We were working with the same vocab as last week!

3rd grade learned more about the weather! Ask them how to say winter, it's snowing, and there's snow!

kindergarteners through 2nd grade took a break and played a fun game of head, shoulders, knees, and toes. I'm very proud of the 2nd graders, we presented our song to Mrs. Garey and she was truely impressed!

Spanish Words:

  • cabeza = head
  • hombros = shoulders
  • piernas = knees
  • pies = toes (actually pies means foot or feet and dedos de pies is toes, but doesn't fit in the rhythm of the song)
  • ojos = eyes
  • orejas = ears
  • boca = mouth
  • nariz = nose

10 de Marzo de 2010

WOW! What a great day! The 4th graders started making sentences in Spanish about the bathroom vocabulary they have been learning. We had 8 students develop 8 sentences explaining where a certain item was!

The vocab for today in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades were:

Debajo (under)
Sobre (over)
Dónde (where)


The kindergarteners completed their color books so make sure you check their backpacks!!!

1st grade read and colored a new book about Invierno, which is Winter in Spanish while the 2nd graders learned numbers up until 30!


3rd graders had a substitute teacher today! One student taught the rest of the class about weather words as I was watching for about 10 minutes, it was fun and a good sight to see!


¡Hasta Luego!
